Before the Green episodes

  • S4:E3 - COTA to Phoenix

    A week, an unanticipated break and then back for a poorly named Episode 3. This week’s episode finds us discussing the following topics:

    • Is the national layout the goat of COTA options?

    • How upset should Chase Elliott be?

    • Penalty for Austin Cindric or no?

    And of course, we get a quick look at Phoenix and make some picks to make the race more enjoyable.

  • S4:E1 - Daytona to Atlanta

    Just like that, 2025 is upon us, and so is season 4 of Before the Green. This week’s episode finds us discussing the following topics:

    • William Byron goes back to back at the Daytona 500, but was it a good race?

    • JR Motorsports makes Cup series debut and snags a Top 10

    • Is safety once again the most important topic following Ryan Preece’s mid-race flip?

    And of course, we get a quick look at Atlanta and make some picks to make the race more enjoyable.

      • S3:E31 From Watkins Glen To Bristol

        We've got an episode full of disagreements this week following an unpredictable race in Martinsville. Some of the topics discussed are:


        Are wildcard races not OK for the playoffs?

        Is Alex Bowman truly the best performing driver at HMS these past two weeks?

        Who would pick Chase Briscoe to win at Bristol?
